Songs About Time

Mandolin Orange again. Watch Emily's face as she plays, the song is just a part of her.

 
Soulful Bonnie at her best - "Too Long at the Fair"

I've been downtown such a long, long time
I'll never make it home by seven
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair.........

Bob Marley, "Waiting in Vain"

Like I said: "It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door
And I still can knock some more
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?
I wanna know now, for I to knock some more............


 
Vashti Bunyan, Train Song:

It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles but it won't be long........

 
Tucker Boys and "This Ol' Cowboy" - saw them live 4 times in the 70's, what a gut honest great band:

Well I'm sittin' down in San Anton'
Waiting on an eight o'clock train
My woman left me here last night
Things ain't been quite the same

Dang, another one. This is a standard, a whole bunch of people have recorded it, I have no idea who did it first. But it's always hard to beat Emmylou!



edit--Emmylou played with a whole bunch of talented musicians over the years. The Nash Ramblers was probably her best lineup. Sam Bush is a wildman on that mandolin!

They were married briefly, didn't work out, but they sure did put out two great albums together.

 
I've seen Gillian Welch and David Rawlings live twice. Just the two of them is all you need, but Chris Thile fits in nicely here. Like most of her songs, this seems like it's a much older tune than it is, she's an old soul from a different era.

These 2 songs from the same band are about as different as can possibly be. Talented quartet. Abigail Washburn went on to some acclaim as a solo artist, don't know what happened to the other 3.




second song

!00 Years From Today - Spaniels
Silent Night
Lazy Afternoon - Barbra Streisand
Long Ago and Far Away - Jo Stafford
